Sonic and The Shade Stones

Ch. 7
Amy flipped out, wagging her arms in the air ferociously. "NO VOICES! I AM NOT GOING MAD IN MY YOUTHFUL YEARS!" she grabbed her head, "Find a happy place, find a nice little home with you and sonic living yours happily side by side…"
'My… you seem to care about him so much. How wonderful. I admire-'
"NO VOICES!" Amy ran out of the cave and took a deep breath, when she looked up however, she had to gasp at the looming gloom that the area now took. It had once looked like a jungle on a small island, it now looked like a cursed world with barely any trees that weren't dieing or already dead. The whole area was either burnt or burning. The sky was filled with smoke and ash, it revealed traces of sun light but it was very faint and without that there would have been no light. The wind rushed past Amy, and she held her hair and dress as it moved at dangerous speeds by her. "Wha… What has happened?" she looked downward, there was a few explosions happening with lots of gun fire and missiles flying through the air. "Eggman.. I wonder if he found Darky yet…" she then remembered that she had to stay clear of him. In her heart she worried about Sonic, but she knew better. She had to find the Light Stones.. Somehow.
Dark Sonic sent another robot to the ground, it's belly had ripped wires flinging everywhere and sparking as Dark Sonic stomped on top of it and grinned with a few chuckles.
"Sonic! I am your master! You will obey ME!" hollered Eggman on a microphone in one of the robots heads. The screen showed him pointing to Sonic, but Sonic just looked down at all the piled up and destroyed robots and back to Eggman. "Yes, I notice that your at the peak of your power. But I also am aware that your some what found of a little pink hedgehog..?" the screen fizzed out into a recording of a robot grabbing Amy, then falling and Dark Sonic moving over her protectively as it shot the robot filming and the others down with billions of energy blast. The film ended as Eggman's face returned with a smile, Dark Sonic just lowered his head a bit. "I could aid you in finding the little thing again, oh and of course, no harm would come to her."
"As if I need your help…" replied Dark Sonic, he lifted his head and sniffed the air. "I can simply use the wind to find her, while I destroy you for good and then I'll have no rival over her."
"Hahaha! So you do talk. Well, Sonic. I'll make you a better deal. You've done quite a wondrous job to this little island of yours, how about expanding that? With your aid, you could even destroy the world! Why not rule it with me?" Eggman's face moved more toward the camera.
Sonic tightened his fist, "What good is a world you can't rule? Is that what your telling me? Cause my motto is and always will be.." he lifted his hand, the robots started shaking.
"W-What are you doing?! Sonic!"
"I prefer…Dark Sonic." He flexed his hand quickly. The robots expanded and were blown up from inside, a deep fire had melted there insides and then caused them to burst as it grew within them out. He started to walk away as metal flung itself left and right. He closed his eyes and flicked his ears, listening. When he heard rocks falling away, he smiled. "The only other term that I also allow.. Will only be tolerated if it's her words… Darky.." he smiled and seemed to go so fast that he looked like he had teleported away.
Amy had slid a bit on her decent down the mountain, she was so clumsy, but all the thundering was making her really nervous and scared. "Oh, come on. Where's a compass to a Light Stone when you need one?!" the wind was bashing her, as if mocking her descent and trying to throw her off the mountain. She finally got to the bottom and started making a mad dash to a small covering of bushes and other trees that weren't badly burned and still provided a nice hiding place. She climbed into a small hole in the brush and curled up. It was so cold all of a sudden, a minute ago the sun was up and now this. As she tried to stay warm, something kicked her in the back. She quickly turned around and gasped, "Shadow!?"
"Move, your blocking the light."
She quickly did so, scooting as much as possible over to the circled wall of vegetation. "Your alive?"
"Is that a grave thing to hear for you?" he shifted himself, and winced as pain from his arm and chest as he moved back to relax on a rock that was mostly what he was leaning against.
"Shadow.. You look awful…" Amy moved over to him, reaching for his head which was bleeding over his already red fur.
He quickly pushed her off of him, grunting at the effort since it hurt so much. Amy felt that the push was weak too, compared to how he once socked her stomach pretty hard on the beach just a day ago. "Don't… ah.. Come near me.."
"Shadow.. I can help. Let me help you." she reached again.
"I don't need your help, Rose!" he flung a weakened hand at her again and she stepped back. He breathed heavily.
"…" Amy walked out of the hole. Shadow seemed to relax a bit, until she came back.
"Why are you back?" he spit out at her, almost growling it.
She silently smashed a big fruit in his face, the juice leaked out. It stung some of his open wounds that it leaked onto, he moved the fruit off of his face and twitched an eyebrow at Amy, obviously ticked off. "Go on, be a jerk. I'm used to fighting them. No matter how much I annoy you, you'll soon realize I'm only here to help, and help I must." she tore some of her dress up, and started to move in to treat his wounds. He tried to hit her away again but she just shoved some more fruit in his face and hungry made him eat it and let her do her job. She was able to treat him without much struggle, although, he did make it difficult on her purposefully when he turned on his side of something. She was getting annoyed with him but whenever he was being a jerk she simply pushed a finger down on one of his wounds and he wheeled over back on his back. He glared at her and she just smiled with a small sound effect like, "Heee~" and continued her bounding the wounds process as he ate.
'…um.. If I may speak so boldly. I do have an ability I can lend you for healing him..'
'NO. VOICES.'
'Bu-but! If you would only just listen.. I can help, and you won't need to lend me your body…'
'…Voice seems nice…'
'Voice is nice. Please? Just listen to me, hold up your hand and think of treating him. Think, heal.'
Amy held up her hand to Shadow's head, "What on earth.. Are you doing?" Shadow finally broke the silence.
"Just shush it! I think I'm gaining a new power…" she lightly touched his head.
"Whoop-de-do." he said sarcastically as suddenly Amy's hand released a strange cloud-like mist. It drizzled onto his fur and he tensed up. "Amy…What is that." he looked at her suspiciously.
"…Don't freak out, okay? But I think I have two Light Shade Stones in me…" He stared at her and didn't say anything, but he obviously had a frown that revealed his feeling toward hearing that. His wounds were slowly healed and he was actually lulled into a deep, relaxing state as his eyes drooped a bit in sleepiness.
"At least it doesn't hurt…"
"Hehe, I know right?" Amy felt such a pleasing feeling in her hand, it was as if harmony was her new power and she couldn't help but smile and giggle at how cool and fun this was. "So this is a power of a Light Stone? Cool..!"
"…that's not how they all feel…" Shadow opened his eyes slightly. "Dark Stones are quite the opposite. Your lucky you have this feeling of joy, and the pain of what the Dark Stone brings…"
"…Was it awful? Being controlled?.."
Shadow looked down and slowly got up, his wounds minor now. "I wasn't controlled, I will never say I was. However,…" he closed his eyes and held his head down, his fist tightened and squished the ground in a tight twist. "That power.. Though small, was definably frightening… Even for me." he looked up at Amy, his eyes intense. "There's no way your fluffy light magic, even with all four of them, could be as powerful as the darkness in those Stones."
Amy looked at each eye and sighed in despair. "But I have to try, for Sonic's sake.."
Shadow looked at her carefully, then down. "Then I best aid you, since you helped me I am required to show the same courteously, no?" he handed her a Light Stone, wrapped in a golden, heart shaped necklace. He unwrapped the necklace and gave her the Stone. "Now, go find the rest." he opened the locket and a small Maria smiled within it. "I'm going home.."
"A Light Stone!" Amy cheered as it flew into her body. "But, how did you..?"
"I was planning on collecting the Light Stones as well, hoping to exact revenge, but the Light Stone I found in a river wouldn't accept me. My soul was too dark for it's liking." he said crudely as he got up and out of the hole. "This is where we part. Good luck, Rose. And if you can… Destroy that dark blue freak." he dashed off.
"Wait! Shadow! How are you gonna get off the…" but he was out of sight. "Heh,.. I guess he could just.. Ya know, chaos control. But…" she looked around and held herself tightly in her arms, curling back into the hole. "Now I'm all alone again…"
'Well, almost alone…If I may be any good company… I'd like to inform you that you are not alone… if that brings any comfort. Of course! If it doesn't I can remain silent again..? A-according to your wishes.. That is…'
"Whelp, there's still that." Amy sarcastically said. 'So.. Who are you anyway?'
'Close your eyes, I am with you.'
Amy grumbled a bit and closed her eyes, when she opened them again, she was in a strange room with a large screen. 'Uh…'
'Hello!' a charming voice said behind her. Amy turned and squealed in startling surprise at seeing a girl with her face, but her fur in lighter color. 'It's a great pleasure to meet you.' the girl curtseyed.
'…..' Amy gawked at the creature in front of her, she was so cute!
'Oh.. I didn't mean to frighten you.' she inched back a few steps, being shy. 'I..um.. Am your lightened self, in a since.'
Amy still just stared, her body still in the position of when she squealed in fright.
'…Should I go..?' She looked at Amy sadly, 'I don't wish to be a bother to you…'
'You look like the girl that all the guys search for in this world, and it's kinda scary to meet someone whose so nice as you. It's just.. Too nice. But it's nice to meet you?' she suddenly spoke out, extending her hand to her in greeting.
Light Amy blinked her eyes for a moment in surprised confusion, then nodded and giggled, holding out her own hand and shaking Amy's. 'Well, I'm actually just you. In your most purest form from what your good traits are. I just increase there present selves to there full glory.' she spun around, 'Do you enjoy this look of you?'
Amy smiled, 'I would never look so saintly, no matter how hard I try I don't think anyone can be that angelic. But thanks.' she blushed, being complemented always made her shyly embarrassed. 'But please go on, haha.'
'Hehe, well I would love to tell you how great I think you are. But I'm afraid my brother is tormenting your friend. I need to find my last sister and fight through his power to your, Sonic? Was it? And free him from his bind. With my help, he should be able to reconnect with his body and lock my brother away as he did himself.'
'Wait.. Your going.. Inside him.. After I… beat him?' Amy tried to summarize.
'In a since, that is one way to put it.' she smiled, 'Is something wrong with my plan?'
'A piece of my soul.. Is going into Sonic..?' she looked a little creeped out.
'Oh, oh no. Y-you see, I'll become his light side. I don't really have a gender…'
'B-but Darky called you his sister..?'
'Darky..?'
'A nickname.'
'Oh my. Well, since I was fused to your soul, and you are female, he called me sister.'
'…Ah.' Amy wiped some sweat off her forehead with a, 'Phew.'. 'Now um.. You mentioned I would have to.. fight him..?'
'But of course! You must weaken him in order to implant me in Sonic's soul.'
'Yeah, we have a problem, I'm no super woman.' Amy stated very plainly and bluntly.
'So you assume…'
'So I KNOW.' she stated again. 'This is Sonic the Hedgehog were talking about here, not just that, but Sonic the Evilly Controlled Hedgehog. You know, shoots fire and balls at people? Even lightening?'
'Yes I know…' she looked smugly at Amy, smiling.
'…Then you where do you not see the problem..?' Amy held out her hands, dramatizing her actions for her.
'Do you know my power and it's limits..?'
Amy fiddled with her hands and looked up like a scolded child, '…No…? But it can't be as great as Sonic's… can it?'
She grinned and winked at Amy. 'I always found it fun to let people discover there own questions by there own means.'
Dark Sonic Zoomed into Eggman's air ship, "What a lovely home." he stated humorous as he lightly touched the side of the ship's interior and it shoot several large holes throughout it till it reached outside where there was nothing left to blast.
"Doctor Eggman! He's here! He's going to kill us all!" Docoe cried out, as him and Bocoe embraced each other, crying out buckets of oil onto the floor.
"Slience! I have an escape pod, we won't have to die!" Eggman shouted out as the Robot's joyfully yipped and yahooed as they danced and followed Eggman.
Bakkun flew closely behind and opened the hatch to the escape pod, "Are you sure you're just going to leave Sonic here, Doc?"
"Of course I am you fool, there's nothing I can do now. The Dark Shade Stones don't accept my awesome evilness enough to appreciate what I had to offer them. And with that I'm afraid this plan is ruined, but at least I'm rid of Sonic the Hero once and for all! So this plan wasn't half bad at all." the hatch flew down as they got inside and soon blasted off as Dark Sonic obliterated the remaining fighting robots and looked up to the skyline to see Eggman disappearing into the clouds.
He pouted, "Now that's no fun…" he raised a hand and smiled.
"But Doctor, you do realize that his evil even rivals yours now right?" Bocoe whimpered out.
"….YOU BLOCKHEADS!" Eggman started whacking them and choking them all as he bashed there heads together. They pleaded forgiveness till a siren sound with a small light from within the pod started flashing red.
"Uh.. Doctor.. What is that?" Docoe asked.
"Well, if I'm not mistaken, that's the emergency light…" they all stared at it for a moment.
"OH NO!"
ZIPPPPPPPPPZZZZAPPP
Black lightening had blasted the pod off of targeted area, and they zoomed off into the distance and landed somewhere in the ocean. "BLAST THAT HEDGEHOG!" hollered Eggman as he opened the hatch to breath as smoke came out and weary robots breathed heavily and sighed.
"At least we're alive." replied Bakkun.
"And together." Docoe stated, looking to Bocoe.
"Oh, Docoe!" Bocoe embraced him in oily tears.
"Bocoe!" Docoe hugged back and cried as well.
"Imbeciles…" Eggman muttered out and crossed his arms.
Dark Sonic searched the ship, but Amy was nowhere in it. 'Hmph, guess his threat was mute. I thought he might actually have her trapped here… no matter. I'll just claim this place as my own.' He set up large blasts of Fire and other such things and soon the whole airship began to form into some kind of weird castle-like tower upon the island. 'And with that, I search for my prey.' he laughed wildly out loud.
Amy made her way through more of the undergrowth. She made her way near a stone area where some ancient writing was written on different stone tablets. She went up to them, tracing her hand across the odd symbols that swirled. "Pictures.. Pictures… geez, I feel like a 5 year old…Pictures…PICTURES!" she landed her hand on a picture depicting what looked like 5 wizards of some kind, due to there hats and robes that's what Amy assumed, and the eight stones. It showed that they were all white, but when Amy kept running along the tablet, it then showed a masked man that took four stones. She went on to see the stones turn into black colors and then a few people were being zapped by lightening and controlled by the stones. They cowered as the masked man held his hands out, and the stones were spread out with threads in them, as if strings controlling the people. "…Do the Dark Stones control people..?" asked Amy.
"If there master commands them too, but I believe your situation is a little.. How do you say, Whohoo, different?"
Amy turned around but nothing was there, then suddenly the ground gave out and she fell through what looked like a secret underground tunnel. The stone floor that moved out below her slowly closed, and she was in pitch black darkness.
